5.00Clea was a wonderful, friendly and informative guide. She told us a lot about the food that we tried- what it was, how it was prepared and where it originated from. She added historical contexts and created a warm friendly and fun experience.

5.00Fantastic tour of off the beaten path spots in the heart of Athens.. great way to avoid the crowded tourist spots and enjoy great food from local family owned restaurants and businesses. Our guide was super friendly, funny and well versed in Greek food, its history and overall history of Greece.. the variety of the food was excellent and the quality was superb. All fresh, homemade and sourced in Greece. Highly recommend this food tour.
Small group, informal and fun!

5.00Our guide was Orestis (spelling?) and he was friendly and full of interesting and fun information. Three hours of walking around a small section of Athens, 5 stops and some delicious examples of Greek cuisine, drinks and a honey-vendor with some really neat flavors and lotions. We have been walking a lot lately and several of the stops allowed for informal seating while we tried the items - loved all of it. We even had time to stop at a small Byzantine era church and we really appreciated that gem.

5.00We had an amazing time on the Athens food tour! Constantina was our guide and she showed us all the most amazing places - some of the best food we had in Greece was on this tour. We tried many traditional Greek foods, while learning history and getting a tour of the city by someone who knows the area very well. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is spending time in Athens.
